Kyneton Airfield is located approximately 2nm north of Kyneton township. It has 2 runways, RWY18-36 of 703m TORA (bitumen) with approximately 150m of gravel overrun to the north and RWY09-27 of 645m TORA (grass). There are numerous infringements of the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS); there is also a large Tree Plantation on the Northern border of the Aerodrome that may cause wind-shear and potentially infringes the night Obstacle Clear Approach and Takeoff Gradients on RWY 18/36.

It should be noted Kyneton is not a Certified or Registered Aerodrome and therefore does not fall under the regulatory requirements of Part 139 of the CASR 1998; as such under CAR 92 there is a clear obligation on the pilot to determine if the aerodrome is suitable for their use having regard to all the circumstances, including prevailing weather conditions.

Circuits on RWYs 09 and 36 are Left-Hand; on RWYs 18 and 27 Circuits are Right-Hand. In Nil Wind conditions and subject to operational safety considerations RWY 36 Preferred.

AVGAS: Is available via a self-service cardswipe bowser which accepts VISA/Mastercard credit cards only, the system does not accept bank debit cards

Aircraft Parking: A visiting aircraft/itinerant parking area is located on the grass to the South of the Aero Club building and to the West of the Run-up Bay and is clearly signed. Visiting aircraft are not to park in the area to the North of the AVGAS bowser, which is reserved for Kyneton based aircraft.

Aircraft which are permanently located at the airfield are subject to Airfield Access Fees, details can be found here: YKTN Airfield Access Fees.

Airfield Lighting: Is provided via a Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL) system on both runways and taxiways. Airfield lighting will remain on for 30 minutes once activated. The PAL frequency is 120.55 and requires the standard 3 x 1 second pulses to activate.

Airfield Lighting is for Arrivals and Departures only, no Night Circuits are permitted at YKTN

Noise Abatement:

The Kyneton Aero Club has introduced a “Fly Neighbourly Policy” at Kyneton Airfield as there are a number of noise sensitive areas within the immediate proximity of the Airfield. Please review the diagram below which highlights mandatory circuit directions and, subject to operational and safety considerations as discussed below, preferred circuit tracking to avoid the noise sensitive areas.

As per CASA guidance on the establishment of a Fly-Neighbourly Advice or Policy, Pilots must always fly in a manner that is consistent with Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 and any air traffic management procedures applicable to the area. Mandatory aviation operating and safety procedures (as well as any aviation requirements relevant to the area) have precedence over a Fly-Neighbourly Policy in all circumstances.

A Fly-Neighbourly Policy also does not preclude the necessity for police, fire, search and rescue, other emergency services and infrastructure-monitoring organisations to have access to low level airspace when the need arises.
